About
Hyunjeong Lim (b. 1987, Busan, South Korea) is a visual artist based in the Seattle area. She received her BFA in Painting from Seoul National University in 2010 and her MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, London, in 2013.
Lim’s practice is shaped by her transnational background and sustained engagement with diverse cultural and natural environments. Having lived and worked across South Korea, Europe, and the United States, she draws from multiple cultural traditions and lived experiences. Through drawing and painting, Lim creates mindscapes that suggest a surreal perspective on the real world, exploring perception, memory, and emotional experience.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions, including recent presentations in Seoul, Busan, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. In 2025, she held her first solo exhibition in Seattle at 4Culture Gallery and continues to actively present her work in both the United States and South Korea.
